“Windows, Mac and Linux: Our favorite solution for keeping your private
files safe, sound, and hidden—TrueCrypt—is now available for Mac as
well as Windows and Linux. The just-released version 5.0 of TrueCrypt
boasts some impressive features in addition to the Mac version, like a Linux GUI, and the:
Ability
to encrypt a system partition/drive (i.e. a partition/drive where
Windows is installed) with pre-boot authentication. Anyone who wants to
gain access and use the system, read and write files, etc., needs to
enter the correct password each time before the system starts.
Since Mac’s built-in system encryption feature FileVault didn’t impress me much,
TrueCrypt for Mac is very exciting. TrueCrypt is a free download for
all three platforms, and if you haven’t tried it yet, here’s how to encrypt your data with TrueCrypt.“
